How Often and How Much Should I Feed My Dog?

Puppies up to 10 weeks should eat three to four times a day. The number of times should be reduced progressively until they reach six weeks.

Young dogs should be fed twice a day. Adult dogs can eat once or twice a day, but the latter option is preferable.

Feeding can only be reduced to once a day when the dog is one year old. Regardless of how many times you feed your dog, this should be done always at the same time.

Besides that, a bowl with fresh water should always be made available.



How much should I feed my dog?

The amount your dog needs to eat depends on many factors, including: life stage (puppy, adult, pregnant or lactating), lifestyle (active versus the "coach potato"), size and general condition.

Select a high quality food, weigh your dog (don't try to guess) and then read the feeding guidelines provided on the package.

Remember, though, that every dog is unique, so you might have to adjust his feeding accordingly.

Lastly, dear readers .... please remember that every pet is different and unique....
so your judgement and wisdom well ....
